A. Well, it kinda depends. It depends on where you live, what you wanted to grow, and how quick the plant takes to actually grow. Next time, you might want to do some more prep work, but for the time-being there are actually a handful of things you can plant right now!

You may have already missed the boat for growing veggies like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants but there’s still a lot of late-summer producers that you can still plant.

One of the most important things you can do is buy good seeds for your garden. Make sure to buy only Non-Genetically Modified (NON-GMO) seeds. Don’t support companies that support genetically engineering our food supply. 3 sources to buy your vegetable seeds.

The good thing is that most all those varieties listed above don’t take forever to grow and they’ll do well in partial sun. So even if it gets really hot in the next couple months you can still plant them in an area that doesn’t get the most amount of sun but still get a healthy harvest of herbs and veggies.

Just plant something! Growing your own food is all about the experience and learning each time you do it.

Spinach, tomatoes – buy a seedling, peas, rutabaga, parsnip, green onions, cilantro, parsley, zucchini, potatoes, onion sets. Lots of veggies will still produce if planted late – planting too early is more detrimental up north where I am.

I live in hot, sunny Southern California in Los Angeles! Please, please tell me I didn’t waste time planting my garden this late!
*(My first garden in my new place, so i had to do lots of prep as soon as i moved in, but it took a long time)

for all those who worry about planting late. I live in eastern pa. this is the first time in years that my garden got started before the second week of july. I have always had an awesome garden so don’t worry, just plant and enjoy. you can always look for short season varieties.

I really like this post. The very first time I did a vegetable garden, It didn’t even occur to me to start it until June. (I’m in Maryland) I was in my local big box store a few days ago and was surprised to see that they even still had many transplants still for sale. Also, though you may be limited starting summer vegetables in June, it’s a good time to prep a space and your soil for a fall garden. Lettuce, all greens, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbages all do best in the fall, and some of them can be planted in late July if you’re putting them in as seed.
